Biopsy results for bumps

So, the dermatologist called today. I know I posted about the bumps. I forget if I posted that before Christmas he thought they were bug bites. Well, when we went back in on 1/7 he changed his tone. Didn't know what they were but didn't think his 98% sure diagnosis was right anymore. So we did a biopsy.

Anyway, he called back today with the results and it is folliculitis! So, that's fine and I guess good. Nothing serious, nothing that she "might grow out of," nothing wrong with her. He did say at the first visit he doubted it was that. They don't know if anything caused it or if people are just prone to it but we have a lotion that "might" help, might not.

Just figure I'd give an update.

By soon I think we're talking like 6 weeks, lol. But this have been going on since Sept 7th is the first time I remember seeing them!! So I am just glad to have an answer. From what our pedi told me is that once it clears up they should be gone for good. It's not something that keeps coming back. So here's hoping. I am so tired of these bumps!

Thanks for the reply!

So glad that the bump drama turned out as well as it did. I know that the biopsy was no fun for anyone, so I'm relieved to hear that there won't be anymore testing or painful stuff. Here's to hoping she outgrows it soon!Andie

Thanks Andie, I owe you an email but haven't had time to commit today, lol. My sister and kids are coming for a visit for the weekend. I am really glad it is what it is. Seems like an easy fix. During all this the phrase, "well, it doesn't look like cancer" came up a couple times even at the biopsy. Of course it pops in my mind before it's said but I didn't really even think about it but after it's said it's like a mind boggler. Keep thinking but it could be? So, this is good. Glad to get the results so fast too! We go to our pedi to get the stitches out next week. They make it sound like once they are gone they are gone. So here's hoping!
